Period 6 Wiki

This wiki is restricted to Period 6 class members only.



Here is what you need to do for your wiki assignment:

  • Step 1: Over to the left, you will see "New Page".
    • Click on that link and use your last name as the title.
    • A new page will be created.
    • Type information into this document and hit "Save".
    • Your name will appear over to the left alphabetically. This is your personal wiki page.
    • Note: Your page does not exist until you hit "Save".

  • Step 2: Click on your name to access your personal wiki.
    • To edit your personal wiki, click on "Edit This Page" at the top of the document.
    • Always hit "Save" or your changes will not be accepted
    • If you happen to be working on the wiki and you see a message asking if you want to see recent changes... the answer to that question is yes! As a rule of thumb... if someone took the time to save something, you want it... if it's a draft, you don't want it.

Tips on Editing (Using the Buttons)
  • If you hover your mouse over a button, it will tell you its function. Here are the ones I find most useful:
    • "Color" and Style" Button (The "capital A with red, green, and blue squares under it" will be your best friend)
      • Use this button to change colors, sizes, and styles
      • Use this button to change justification
    • "Horizontal Rule" Button
      • Add gray horizontal lines
    • "Insert Link" Button
      • Link any highlighted text to a website/image of your choice
      • Use the other button to remove the link
    • "Insert Images and Files" Button
      • Add images.
      • Another box will appear to help you edit your images.
    • "Embed Widget" Button
      • For those who are very comfortable with digital media. I invite you to use your creativity.
    • "Insert Table" Button
      • Create tables or boxes
    • "Insert Code" Button
      • For those who understand HTML code


I gave you two examples of a wiki that will fulfill the requirements of this assignment.
  • "Holliday1" fulfills the minimum requirements
  • "Holliday2" goes beyond the required tasks
